The Arc of Anchorage

About Us

For over 60 years, The Arc of Anchorage has been a family-focused, grassroots organization that provides a full array of disability services for Alaskans who experience intellectual disabilities, developmental disabilities and behavioral health challenges. The Alaskans we serve and their families are free to choose disability services that best meet their needs. We recognize each person we serve has specific dreams, ambitions and interests, as well as aptitudes and abilities apart from the disability he/she experiences. Our services are individually tailored to meet the needs and goals of each person we serve. The Arc is also the leading expert resource for the media, business and government about people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including their real abilities, their needs and the barriers and obstacles they face in their quest to be fully included in society.
